On January 23rd, 2021, 45 lawmakers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of Prime Minister Imran Khan, withdrew their resignations from the National Assembly of Pakistan. The legislators had submitted their resignations in protest of the government's handling of the sugar and wheat crisis in the country.
The crisis, which has led to shortages and inflated prices of the two staple commodities, has been a major issue for the government. The lawmakers had demanded that Prime Minister Khan take responsibility for the crisis and resign. However, after a meeting with the Prime Minister and other party leaders, the legislators decided to withdraw their resignations.
This development is a significant victory for the government, as it avoids a potential crisis in the National Assembly. Withdrawal of the resignations means that the government will now have the support of a majority in the assembly, allowing it to pass important legislation and continue with its agenda.
The Prime Minister has also announced a number of measures to address the crisis, including an inquiry into the matter and measures to control prices and ensure availability of wheat and sugar. It is hoped that these measures will address the concerns of the public and bring the situation under control.
It is worth noting that the crisis of wheat and sugar shortage has been a long-standing issue in Pakistan and previous governments have also failed to address it effectively. The government under Imran Khan has announced steps to address this issue, but only time will tell if they are effective or not.
In conclusion, the withdrawal of resignations by 45 PTI lawmakers from the National Assembly is a positive development for the government, as it allows it to continue with its agenda without any major disruptions. The government has also announced measures to address the sugar and wheat crisis, which will be closely watched by the public and opposition parties
